What Class of 1968 Assistance Fund Inc does
Mission
The Class of 1968 Assistance Fund was created to provide grants to classmates, widows, and/or family members of classmates of the Princeton University Class of 1968 who are in need of financial assistance, typically of a one-time or short-term nature, as provided by our by-laws and stated in our Form 1023 application. Members of the Board are prohibited from receiving such grants or benefits and serve as uncompensated volunteers. At such time as the Fund is terminated, all remaining assets will pass to the general endowment of Princeton University. IRS 501(c)(3) was received 7/11/2022, retroactive to the date of incorporation, 8/10/2021.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Received 27 contributions from classmates totaling $14,050. Mailed approximately 700 solicitation letters to classmates and widows on the official Princeton University Class of 1968 mailing list in November 2025 and publicize the Class of 1968 Assistance Fund, Inc. on the official Princeton University Class of 1968 website. During 2025 we gave grants to two classmates and one widow totaling $15,930. We are actively engaged in trying to identify eligible grant recipients.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $24k to $50k (+109%).

Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 86% — diversifying over time.

Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
